This patent describes an efficient and reconfigurable permanent magnet generator. It comprises a permanent magnet subassembly and at least one exciter. The permanent magnets can be arranged to produce alternating current or direct current by inverting the poles of the magnets. The exciter comprises alternating layers of a superconductive material and a non-superconductive material. The superconductive layers are thin relative to the non-superconductive layers. This generator design can be reconfigured to produce either AC or DC power using the same mechanical components.
This patent describes an atmospheric static electricity collector that uses a balloon tethered by a conductive line. An antenna attached to the balloon collects static electricity from the atmosphere using conductive rods. The collected electricity is conducted down the tether to a base unit on the ground. A controller monitors the electrical flow and uses a winch motor to control the tether length and balloon altitude to maintain the electrical flow within a preset range. The collected static electricity can then be provided to electrical loads on the ground.

John Hutchison's work on the Hutchison Effect was mentioned in a recent NASA poster presentation on breakthrough physics that could enable future space travel. The poster summarized some of Hutchison's experimental apparatus and ideas submitted to the journal Electrics over the years. Hutchison used a variety of electrical and magnetic field generating devices simultaneously and interactively in his experiments, including Tesla coils, static generators, transformers, interferometers, and nuclear sources. This led to unpredictable "events" like objects being moved or restructured, which were difficult to analyze scientifically due to the complex interactions of variables. Hutchison provided some details on the setup of his main experimental apparatus in an attempt to share information with other experimenters.

This paper investigates a microfluidic device that integrates a gate valve and variable aperture mesh filter into a single unit. It uses a linear electrostatic induction drive to position the valve and varies the filter aperture size by superimposing a mobile mesh on a fixed mesh, both with the same opening pattern. The device aims to minimize power consumption by including a locking mechanism to maintain the mobile mesh position. Simulations of the device were attempted using COMSOL but the author had difficulties achieving desired results due to unfamiliarity with the software.
This patent document describes a process for producing a fuel gas from water molecules and releasing thermal explosive energy from that gas. The process involves three main stages: 1) Breaking down water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gases using a capacitor cell and resonant electric field. 2) Ionizing the produced gases in a vessel while increasing their energy levels. 3) Subjecting the excited gas ions to electromagnetic wave or laser energy in a resonant cavity to further increase their energy levels until a thermal explosive release occurs. The process aims to controllably produce significant energy through resonant energization of molecules and atoms at different stages.
This document describes a slip ring arrangement for electrically connecting testing equipment to rotating equipment like motors and generators. It involves applying a flexible tape with conductive strips and insulating layers onto the rotating shaft. This allows temporary thermistors or other sensors to be connected for measuring temperature or other variables during field service and testing, without requiring a custom-fitted slip ring assembly. The tape can be wrapped around shafts of varying sizes and the conductive strips form slip rings that brushes connect to, bringing sensor signals to measuring devices. This overcomes issues with conventional slip ring assemblies and allows faster, easier temporary testing of rotating equipment.

This document describes Peter Grandics' invention of a pyramid-shaped capacitor that can convert electrostatic energy into usable electrical energy. It discusses how wrapping a coil around a pyramid-shaped electrode that is charged with high voltage DC produces an alternating current that can be rectified. The pyramid shape allows for maximal conversion of DC electrostatic energy into an AC current without any moving parts. It also references prior art on electrostatic generators and discusses potential applications of tapping atmospheric electrostatic energy sources using this method.
This patent describes improvements to capacitor design for high current applications. It discloses a capacitor that includes an expandable part on the housing. When a fault occurs inside the housing, the expandable part expands and causes the housing to extend in length and contact an external interrupter. The external interrupter includes an electrode and sensing circuit. The sensing circuit detects contact between the housing and electrode, and sends a signal to disconnect the capacitor from the external circuit. This design allows for fault detection without an internal fault interrupter, making the capacitor simpler and less costly to manufacture.

Layer structure for Normally off GaN HEMTSarjon Murad
This document describes a layer structure for a normally-off transistor. The layer structure comprises an electron-supply layer, a p-type back-barrier layer, and a channel layer between them. The channel layer is made of a material with a lower bandgap than the other layers. In the absence of an external voltage, the lower conduction band edge of the channel layer is higher than the Fermi level, achieving normally-off operation. The layer structure allows fabrication of recess-free normally-off transistors with superior performance and high yield through a comparatively simple process.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

RELATED APPLICATION
The present application claims the bene?t of Us. Provi
sional Application No. 60/472,637 ?led May 22, 2003,
Which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to motors and
generators and more particularly to a permanent magnet
alternating current and direct current electric poWer genera
tor and method for generating alternating current and direct
current electric poWer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In simple terms, a generator is a device for converting
mechanical energy into electrical energy and Works by
electromagnetic induction. A poWer source drives a coil
Winding, causing it to rotate betWeen the poles of a perma
nent magnet or electromagnet. As the coil Winding spins and
cuts through the lines of force betWeen the poles of the
magnet, potential energy and electric current is generated
and ?oWs through the coil Winding. The electric current that
is generated may be either direct current (DC) or alternating
current (AC). In AC generation, a sinusoidal output Wave
form is produced; no energy is induced as the coil Winding
rotates parallel to the magnetic ?ux lines, While maximum
poWer is achieved When the coil Winding is rotating tangen
tial to the magnetic ?ux lines.
The ?rst electric generators, or dynamos, Were modeled
and built in the 1830s. By the end of the nineteenth century,
signi?cant advances Were being made in the ?eld of elec
trical generation, particularly by Nikola Tesla. In 1890, Tesla
disclosed a pyromagneto-electric generator in Us. Pat. No.
428,057, in Which he recogniZed that the magnetic proper
ties of iron and other magnetic substances may be compro
mised by raising the material to a certain temperature and
restored by again loWering the temperature. Also in 1890,
Tesla disclosed an electrical transformer or induction device
in Us. Pat. No. 433,702.
Alternating current generators in use at the time typically
provided from one to three hundred alterations of current per
second. It Was soon recogniZed that higher rates of alteration
Would be an advantage. Producing higher rates of alteration
With generator designs at the time, hoWever, Was di?icult
and resulted in decreased e?iciency, primarily due to high
magnetic leakage, and improved generator designs Were
sought. In Us. Pat. No. 447,921, Tesla discloses a ?eld
magnet core made up of tWo independent parts formed With
grooves for the reception of one or more energiZing coils.
The energiZing coils are completely surrounded by the iron
core, except on one side, Where there is a narroW opening
betWeen the polar faces ofthe core, and the polar faces ofthe
core are formed With many projections or serrations. This
?eld-magnet design produced less magnetic leakage but still
did not operate at a desired level of e?iciency.
In 1894, Tesla disclosed an electric generator in Us. Pat.
No. 511,916. This generator Was capable of continued
production of electric currents of constant period by impart
ing the movements of a piston to a core or coil in a magnetic
?eld.
By the tWentieth century, more reliable turbines Were in
use, capable of providing 50-60 Hertz poWer With 3000
3600 alternations of current per second. In Us. Pat. No.

1,061,206, Tesla discloses a turbine that improves the use of
?uids as motive agents by causing a propelling ?uid to move
in natural paths or stream lines of least resistance, avoiding
losses due to sudden variations While the ?uid is imparting
energy. This method, When coupled With poWer generating
equipment, provided a more e?icient and reliable means of
hydraulic poWer synthesis.
Another conventional generator example is the Detroit
Edison generator. The Detroit Edison generator includes an
outer extruded stationary permanent magnet With opposite
magnetic poles forming an air gap at the center, With a
number of Windings rotated Within the air gap to induce
current in the rotating Windings. As With other early gen
erator designs, increased and improved e?iciency Was
sought, often realiZed by increasing the length of the cylin
drical generator.
Generator designs continued to advance in the tWentieth
century, Where improvements made to the above-identi?ed
generator designs frequently focused on improving e?i
ciency. U.S. Pat. No. 3,538,364, to Favereau, discloses a
rotary electric machine comprising a ?xed primary stator in
the form of a pair of concentrically arranged inner and outer
stator elements having magnetic poles and betWeen Which,
in an air gap, the secondary cylindrical rotor having a
Winding thereon is mounted for rotation. The magnetic stator
provides a 360-degree air gap betWeen opposite magnetic
poles in the inner and outer stator. This arrangement reduced
the siZe of leakage ?uxes and reduced the volume of the
coils situated around the poles, permitting increases in the
Working induction in the cylindrical air gap.
More recently, improvements have recogniZed and
addressed optimizing the Waveshape ofthe generator output
to maximiZe generator output and improve e?iciency. In
Us. Pat. No. 5,650,680, Chula discloses a permanent mag
net generator having a rotor including a plurality of perma
nent magnets generating an operative magnetic ?ux ?eld,
seeking to create an output voltage signal With reduced
harmonic content.
Conventional generator designs typically include con
tacts, or “brushes,” that rotate relative to electrical contacts
and provide a circuit for electricity to ?oW through. Brushes,
hoWever, require regular maintenance and replacement as
they become Worn. Additionally, the electrical resistance of
the brushes and the mechanical frictional loss betWeen the
brushes and the contacts decrease generator e?iciency.
These draWbacks Were recogniZed by RakestraW et al. in
Us. Pat. No. 5,696,419, Which discloses an electrical gen
erator With a plurality of C-shaped stator members made of
magnetically permeable material. A ?at ring-shaped rotor
de?nes a periphery, and a plurality ofpermanent magnets are
positioned around the periphery. The rotor is positioned With
the magnets of the rotor disposed in the gap de?ned by the
stator members, so that When the rotor is rotated by a prime
mover to move the magnets through the gap, an electrical
current is induced in the stator Windings.
Others have sought to improve generator e?iciency by not
only eliminating brushes but also improving per-magnet
rotor excitation. In Us. Pat. No. 6,462,449, Lucidarme et al.
disclose a rotating electric machine Where the rotor includes
a magnetic ?eld core provided With radial teeth, uniformly
distributed at its periphery. Annular magnets are arranged on
either side of the core axial ends and magnetic end ?anges
pressing the annular magnets against the core. Magnetic bars
link the end betWeen each of the bars and at least the side
Walls of the core radial teeth de?ning the spaces. The stator
includes a magnetic core, excitation coils arranged on either
side of the core, a stator coil Wound on the core, and a
